New chances

Today John, Delilah & I went to visit an old friend of mine. We've had our problems but for some reason after she tried contacting me 3 times (we hadn't talked in quite awhile) I responded back. I don't know why or what I expect except that I just want to try to be friends. We went to her son's soccer game today- it was so cute. A bunch of 4 and 5 year olds running around a soccer field trying to score a goal. What a sight! Delilah usually is pretty apprehensive about people but she smiled for Jess pretty much immediately. At one point she kind of reached for Jess so I handed her over. She let Jess hold her for seriously a second & was holding her arms out to come back to me. This happened about 2 more times at the field. Afterwards we went back to her house to hang out a little. This is where Delilah decided that Jess could hold her & not just for one second but for quite a bit longer. Jess's son was just the most amazing, gentle, sweet little guy ever with Delilah (there was some hesitation on my part because when Hughie was 2, two years ago, he was a bit of a hitter & a biter but he interacted really well with the kids at the game and was sooo gentle with Delilah!). He really liked her & she seemed to like him too. He shared his stuffed fishy with her, gave her a train sticker that we put on her shirt (but watched her carefully in case she noticed it and wanted to eat it and then took it off for the ride home), complimented her (he called her adorable, beautiful & cute! Aw!!), and even gave her a few kisses.

After our visit in Blooms.burg we came home & Auntie Ashley, Shawn and Landon came to visit. It's always so fun watching the kids interact... or should I say Landon trying to get Delilah to give him a hug & Delilah not having any of it. It was a nice visit that wasn't short but of course was way too short. Make sense? LoL

Tomorrow we're going to my parents' for our weekly visit. Sometime next week (hopefully next week) we'll be having a conversation with John's parents here at our home. Long story.... but because we're truly better than to keep Delilah from them we will give it a try... even if we're still hurt by all the inappropriate behavior that occurred. We just want to put it behind us & forget about it. This might be the start of the way to do that. I guess we'll just have to see...

Daddy found a cowboy hat & Delilah had to try it on! LoL

I'm glad your visit with Jessica and Hughie went so well.

I hope your "talk" with John's parents goes well. I'll pray that it does. Love you all whole bunches!!!!

Gosh I suck

I really was going to try to keep up with whole blogging thing but I've totally been sucking. I just have no ambition. Both of the girls are doing great. Delilah just finished preschool today. We had a rough start but it got better. And then she went back to the crying beforehand and giving John issues. She was very happy to learn today was her last day and promptly requested she go to a new preschool. Which she will be in September. Agap.eland! I am so excited for her to begin there. I think (hope) she'll like it a lot more and she'll learn lots of new things. I just hope we don't have the same issues with the new place as we did with the old place. Tatum is growing in leaps and bounds. Recently she's been trying to blow bubbles with the bubble toy grammy got her. It's so adorable as she dip the wand in the spill-proof container (gotta love those), pulls it out and attempts to blow bubbles. She actually did blow bubbles today but of course I missed it becau...

Almost a month since I last blogged- where does the time go? What to write about? I have no idea. Basically things are pretty boring. We've just been doing what John does while I work... going to Target for our weekly Target visit, going to the marina when it's nice, visiting John's parents. We've also visited Ash & the boys for some play dates. Other than that it's been low key which is nice since I only get three months with Tatum. Don't get me wrong I know I'm lucky to have the time I do with Tatum but I just wish I could have six months with her. My mom has since stopped coming during the weekends as I can lift Delilah again. It's not too bad actually- I was worried about it but I'm surviving. I've even been able to get them places by myself. Usually just to visit John at work or for our weekly Sunday visit to my parents. Last Saturday I did make a trip to this place called Wendt's Pork Palace (they have yummy wing dings) with Ashley ...
